Your thoughts on last night’s riots? Good Job Governor Noem & Mayor TenHaken

@SoDakCampaigns

In watching the coverage of last night’s riots, I have to commend Governor Kristi Noem and Mayor Paul TenHaken for prompt, decisive action last evening in response to those who took what was an event that the community should be proud off.. and ended it on a sour note.

Governor Noem and Mayor TenHaken and took proactive measures to safeguard lives and property in the face of people who just wanted to cause chaos. That was no protest at the empire mall.. it was a riot, and an exhibition of lawlessness.  People wanted to vandalize property  and possibly find an opportunity to possibly steal stuff and just to cause problems.

And to the best of their ability, law enforcement shut it down.  We should be especially thankful for the skill and professionalism of the law enforcement agencies that were on the front line, such as the SFPD and SD Highway Patrol and numerous others.

  1. It is a sad time when we have riots and looting. Having an orderly protest is acceptable. Governor Noem and Mayor TenHaken are examples of true leaders that step up to protect our people and property.

    1. I’ve been wondering if her approval numbers have gone up over covid and this.

    2. Sioux Falls PD exercised a lot of restraint and demonstrated rapport with their community yesterday and last night. They did much better than the guy in the White House who sent officers in riot gear and on horses, and fired tear gas into a peaceful demonstration just so he could go stand with a Bible in front of a church across the street. Now that was a pitiful sight.

  2. The national response has been amazing. Rushing in and killing dumb kids caught-up in the excitement serves the globalist/Soros’ agenda.

    Will Soros call this off, or will he let thousands get killed?

    Will Jesse Jackson’s Black Panthers continue, or will they be given quiet dirt naps?

    This is the same cast, slightly different script as 2016.

    Our governor’s decisions are all correct. The Mayor of Sioux Falls has some work to do in his community for letting this kind of thing fester?

    President Trump made all the right calls in my view, as well.

    Just to remind everyone of what happens when conservatives riot (video below). My instincts told me that when this was dropped, a whole lot of globalist operatives hiding-out in tunnels .. bit the dust, and it triggered the deep state to plan the very worst it could muster, which we are seeing now, and which we will likely see quelled and countered.

    The tree of liberty is watered with ..

    1. So…the Mother of All Bombs needs to be dropped on anarchists, is that what you’re saying, John Dale? Interestingly, those targeted by the MOAB were conservatives, only they were conservatives another religion.

      Real “dems,” just like our friends across the aisle, abhor these violent actions. What these morons are doing is not protest. It’s criminal activity.

      Meanwhile, true leaders like President Obama and Vice President Biden try to calm waters, not taunt and aggravate the criminals. Dear Leader just hides behind his cell phone firing off incendiary tweets, whether to taunt the criminals or ridicule local officials.

      1. True leaders???? Race relations tanked under Obama. He was the divider in chief and is still pulling strings behind the scenes, like the good little, Soros
        funded, community organizer he has always been.

        1. “Race relations tanked under Obama”? Have you seen what is happening out there?

          Meanwhile, our so called “leaders” do not lead. They manage, they follow, they protect the status quo. Real leaders do not treat the symptoms. Real leaders treat the disease, and you will see none of that happening from South Dakota’s “leaders”.

          1. Trump has done more to improve the lives of Blacks than Obama. but that doesnt fit your narrative. Example… obama got rid of the charter schools in DC that were giving some kids a better chance, while his own daughters of course attended a private school. Black employment improved under Trump. just because Obama was half black did not automatically mean he was good for the black community.

            What is happen iij ng out there now is orchestrated as the next Democrat strategy to take down ztrump.

            1. So says Trump. I think there’s a lot of disagreement with that Trump Organization line, however. Here’s 1 piece: https://apnews.com/f78f4205f474482db8bb8fa7a5ebfa27

              Thing is, Trump inherited a good, strong economy and despite his own efforts like the ridiculous trade war with China–“Trade wars are easy to win!”–he didn’t screw it up until COVID-19 happened, ON HIS WATCH.

              1. He inherited an economy that was on the gradual upward tick. It was the SLOWEST recovery in memory. When President Trump came into office, he removed a LOT of the stupid regulations put in place by the previous administration. The tax cut that made it competitive to be in the US did not hurt either. Obama taking credit for the economic success of his successor is like the rooster that crows in the morning and believes that is what is responsible for the sun rising.

                1. Does Trump get credit for the obscene deficit? Actually, I know you will refuse to give him credit for that. Lemme rephrase: who do you blame that on?

                2. Actually, the Trump tax cuts provided what most serious economists call just a 1-year sugar buzz, and they caused the largest US deficit in history. Oh, and the 6% growth in GDP T promised was actually just a bit over 3%. President Obama’s economy had growth every year, the average being about 4.5%. As for T removing “a LOT of the stupid regulations, name one that actually had a certified positive result. All T has done for his years in office is specifically target anything implemented during President Obama’s term.

                  1. You want just one regulation? The Alternative Capital Rule.

                    “most serious economists” is your code for economic quacks as they are the same one who said the economy and stock market would collapse if Trump was elected. Nice try.

                    1. Do you mean the one that’s still in rulemaking? That’s had an effect?

                      Actually, considering the fondness for conspiracies and bash-everything-Obama, I think the “quacks” are on your side.

                    2. No, it is the rule that allowed Credit Unions to raise capital other than from members to enhance their ability to make small business loans in their communities.

                      Nice deflection by trying go from “serious economists” to people who bash Obama. So, you goal in life is to be that you claim to abhor? What a horrible way to go through life.

        2. Please give an example of how race “relations tanked under Obama,” other than how far right terrorists became emboldened enough to march and chant with tiki torches and put Confederate Battle Flags on their bumpers and pick-up windows. Also while you’re at it find a real, proven example of all this Soros stuff that scares you so much.

  3. This is a very dangerous honeypot, but necessary to preserve liberty (pre-crime prosecution is un-US-American).

    Check out how quickly this was rolled-up to generals within our own military:

    I’m afraid we’ll be seeing some folks commit suicide after this fails .. or they’ll disappear.

    Globalists and neocons/libs: You wanted a fight.

    YOU’VE F-ING GOT ONE.

  4. “our governor’s decisions are all correct”

    should read “our governor’s decisions on this issue have all been correct in my opinion”

  5. Governor Noem has been exemplary in leading us since the very day she took office. Her clear judgment, even in the face of unprecedented crises, defies sufficient superlative description. There is no governor in this land that has been better. She deserves our unqualified thanks and continued support.

  7. First, I have to commend the actions of Mayor Tenhaken and Governor Noem. As I listened to some news on Friday or Saturday, it was announced there would be a “peaceful” protest on Sunday. The announcement also said the organizers did not want any rioters to come. I wondered how that was going to turn out. We can see now how that went.
    Thanks to those of you who protested and kept it peaceful. Those of you who chose to ruin a perfectly peaceful protest, I hope you find yourself in jail.

  8. Elite Panic to quell the mob, but now what? Molotovs and rubber bullets aren’t going to fix systemic racism and inequality. There’s got to be a way that doesn’t involve bricks and batons.

    1. Ike- what are some suggestions you have on fixing the solution? I am truly curious and open to offers.

  9. Superb job by leadership last night.

    Mayor gave the organizers the benefit of the doubt and cooperated to allow a peaceful assembly. Mayor also planned for the worst by accepting the Governor’s offer for National Guard help to protect life and property. I also liked Mayor’s calling out parents who were allowing their pre-adult children to be out and about in the evening when things could have gotten ugly.

    Governor made another consistent statement on her role to protect and uphold the Constitutional rights of the citizens (peaceful assembly) and Constitutional obligation to maintain domestic tranquility. You had a sense her “bright red line” was taken seriously because when the first rock was thrown, the crowd began to dissipate.

  10. Peaceful marches–one could hardly call them “protests”–in Pierre, Rapid City and Aberdeen are fine example of South Dakota spirit. The idiots who showed up in Sioux Falls spoiled the march there. I hope local law enforcement there is able to catch and prosecute the idiots.
